    You're being plain silly now. NOBODY stops a good version of Thomas Hearns "EASILY". Hearns will definitely have his moments vs Monzon, both punching wise and boxing wise. This would be an excellent fight.

    You sure? Being rocked in the first round, cut pretty deeply and copping plenty of right hand bullets early make this an easy win? You and i see easy as two different things, early on it was a holocaust in there. Why do you think many still name it fight of the century. KO etc rated it at the very least "Fight of the Decade", how could it be easy and straightforward?

    Hagler stopped Hearns early because he was basically fighting a one handed fighter,and what a fight it truly was.. Not to say Hagler would'nt have one,but Tommy should have put up a much better fight than he did,and he did give it his best with what he had.. His knockouts over middleweights at the time also were sort of suspect. To this day,I often would have loved to have seen these two rematch a year or so after With Tommy filling out more as a middleweight and Hagler on the decline. I had heard that the two have become friends.

    Well maybe not easy... Well then again, Hagler made it look easy immediately after the fight doc took a look at that cut :smoke

    I didn't see anything easy about the Hagler/Hearns fight. Looked pretty rough to me.

    Considering Hagler had blood squirting out of his head I'd have to say yep, it was tough for as long as it lasted.

    So the fight didn't begin until after the cut was inspected?

    Good to see you warming to the facts :smoke

    So if there was no cut and no blood you'd think the fight was easy?
